How do I execute a Python program with root access?

Question

At last I think I found a code for playing a sound on the raspberry pi, but
it stucks in a line where the program needs sudo rights:

import os
import sys

def beep():
audio=file('/dev/audio', 'wb') #in this line it stops cause of no permission
count=0
while count<250:
beep=chr(63)+chr(63)+chr(63)+chr(63)
audio.write(beep)
beep=chr(0)+chr(0)+chr(0)+chr(0)
audio.write(beep)
count=count+1
audio.close()

beep()

Answer 1

Use:

sudo python <filename.py>

The sudo command ist for running as admin. After pressing enter you must type in your user and password.

Answer 2

How do you run your code?

Basically, on a linux system, you type "python filename.py" on a terminal ( console ), so to get root access you need to do "sudo python filename.py"... otherwise, you have automated this by just typing the filename and indicate to the console interpreter the location of the python interpreter at first lines of your source code ( commented with the '#' char ), and you need to setup the good rights elsewhere :P ( in theory, you must give the needed rights to the user who run the code... maybe there's a way, through non-cross platform module, to change the user and or the rights at run-time )
